    thank u for this video!!! This was my first time printing since I got my printer last week and no blue was coming out!!! I had no supplies for cleaning but your instruction for taking out the head was really helpful!! I jujet took it out and wiped it with papertowel and it worked!!! I'm going to order that kit ASAP! Thanks again

    Thanks for that. I have a MG5750 which is still going strong after all these years - superb machine! And, as you show, even maintenance is easy!

    Thanks for the video. I had seen another video where the guy flushed out like you did but left the printhead in the printer. Yours was much better. A+

    I smashed the LIKE Button! Great video! :) I loved it! I have to say though: I thought at the beginning that "Edible" meant it was food safe! lol Ooops. Can't believe this video is 5 years old now and so very helpful! Thanks. Have a great day.

    Thanks for vid. My MG6660 stopped Magenta. Followed process no fix. Even though cartridge half-full it had stopped emitting ink!

    Kass, you are WONDERFUL ! Saved me from buying a new printer ! Tip: I saw another video where the guy used a stream of hot water into the ink wells (no kit or special solution) so I tried that and ... seems like it works , but takes longer, and you have to force the water alternating between the ink wells and the outflow side. However, your method of using a syringe/tube to force the ink out is more efficient). Anyway, I'm looking for your video on how to refill the cartridges ... (I've subscribed to your channel and I'll find out what other useful demos you do !) Gratefully, Paul :-)
